About boat loans
A boat loan is a personal loan that can be used to cover expenses associated with purchasing, owning and maintaining a boat.
This could include the purchase price, repairs, maintenance, storage, accessories and equipment up to the value of your approved loan limit. There are various types of boat loans and it’s important to understand how they work when deciding which type of loan is right for you.
Unsecured boat loan
An unsecured boat loan is a loan which does not require your boat (or another asset) to be offered as security. This means your boat will not be repossessed if you default on your loan or have trouble making payments. Penalties are still charged for late payment, but this is a safer option than a secured loan.
All Harmoney boat loans are unsecured.
Secured boat loan
In the case of a secured boat loan, security (or collateral) is provided on the loan. This can either be the boat itself or another asset. If you default on a secured boat loan, your collateral can be seized by the loan provider.
Secured boat loans are not provided by Harmoney.
Dealer finance
Boat sellers will often offer their own finance, much like car dealerships. While these may seem attractive, often offering low-interest rates and other perks, they typically require a deposit and, like a secured loan, will keep the boat as security. Dealer finance often works out to be more expensive than third party loans, especially for those with bad credit.
Fixed and variable loans
There are two types of interest rates you can have on your loan: fixed and variable. A fixed interest rate is one that will stay the same despite outside influences, making it easier to budget and plan for the future. Meanwhile, a variable rate will rise and fall with the economy, making it a riskier option.
At Harmoney, our loans always have fixed rates so you can know in advance what your payments will be throughout your loan term.
